Motivational Speakers Business People Share Stories Talk Types

There are many types of motivational speakers who "hail from" (come from) many different backgrounds. Some motivational speakers are business professionals who have achieved great successes. Many of them are the "founders" (the people who start a business) with great success and want to share their stories of how to "defy the odds" (do something that is very difficult or almost impossible) to make their businesses grow. Others are "turnaround experts" (people who help a failing business become successful again) who share stories of their "triumphs" (great achievements, accomplishments, and successes) in changing "organizational culture" (how people interact within an organization) and "public perception" (how most people view something and how they think about it).

Other motivational speakers "draw on" (find inspiration in) their personal experience "overcoming" (conquering; moving beyond) physical and emotional challenges. Some of these motivational speakers talk about their battles with cancer and "chronic illnesses" (a long-lasting disease that cannot be cured). Others talk about living with a disability, such as "blindness" (not being able to see) or "paralysis" (not being able to move one's body).

Still other motivational speakers share a story about some unusual event or accomplishment. Some might talk about fighting in the military, hiking to the top of a very tall mountain, or adopting a child with "special needs" (severe physical or mental problems). The basic idea is that they are telling stories that encourage their audience members to "think outside the box" (think creatively) and imagine how they might have felt in a particular situation and how they might have acted. The hope is that then they will return to their job or personal life with a new "can-do attitude" (the feeling of being able to do or to achieve anything).
